A compact, remote-operated excavator built for the tight lots, steep slopes, and tricky terrain of the Greater Seattle Area.

You've seen the job site. The narrow side yard between two houses. The steep backyard that drops 30 feet. The basement dig with one way in and no room to turn around.
Traditional excavators need space — space to get in, space to operate, space that most lots in the Puget Sound region simply don't have.
So you're left with bad options: hand-dig it and blow the budget, crane in equipment and blow the schedule, or walk away from the job entirely.
There's a better option now.
Quark Constructs offers a remotely-operated compact excavator — small enough to fit through a standard gate, powerful enough to do real work, and operated safely from outside the danger zone.
No operator in the cab means no operator at risk. No diesel engine means no fumes, no noise complaints, and the ability to work indoors or in environmentally sensitive areas.
Just the excavation you need, in the spaces you couldn't reach before.
Side yards, narrow setbacks, backyard access through the house — if there's a path, we can get there.
Hillside homes, erosion-prone slopes, and grades too risky for a manned machine.
Basement digs, garage excavations, warehouse work — anywhere diesel fumes aren't an option.
Near wetlands, streams, or protected areas where emissions and spill risk matter.
French drains, rain gardens, and RainWise installations — often in tight backyard spaces where full-size equipment can't go.
Foundation work, utility trenching, and demolition on existing properties with limited access.
